You can make a real difference in a child’s life, supporting vulnerable children by providing a safe and loving environment which allows them to build confidence and thrive.

A range of local information events has been arranged to help people considering becoming foster carers to find out more.

Professionals will talk you through the process and explain what a huge difference you could make to a child’s life by fostering.

Bury Council’s fostering team invite you to the following sessions, which take place over national Foster Care Fortnight (9 to 22 May).
